dusky skin men - #21660

Aisha

I am feeling pretty worried since a few months ago my skin has been getting this weird dusky skin appearance, especially on my arms and face. I’m a guy in my 30s, pretty active, and eat relatively healthy, so I don’t get why this is happening. At first, I thought it was just a tan, but now I'm not so sure, it just looks darker and kinda blotchy. A buddy of mine said it might be this thing called skin hyperpigmentation. I did some Googling and found some stuff about dusky skin men, and that just made me more confused. Did I do something wrong with my skincare routine? I used to be a sun worshipper but like, I’ve cut down on that since noticing this. I went to a dermatologist who mentioned something about underlying health issues that could cause dusky skin, and that’s got me super anxious. I haven’t experienced itching or pain, just feels like my skin tone is changing—like splotchy patches on my cheeks and elbows. Has anyone else dealt with similar dusky skin issues? What did you find helped? I just want to understand why dusky skin men seem to face this and if I should be worried or what I can do to fix it, you know?
